A month. Well come back later stronger and fitter than the boss of a straight the 2nd Largest Airline promises to reboot and stay in the sky after it collapses under the strain of corona virus. Were starting with the news that donald trump has declared he will suspend immigration into the United States through an executive order no further real detail but the u. S. President in a tweet says it is in response to the coronavirus pandemic which he refers to as the invisible enemy trump added that he has to protect american jobs in swift condemnation from some in the Democratic Party who accuse trump of just trying to distract people from what they describe as his faulty response to the outbreak of john hendren in chicago. The president issued this tweet in the dark of night and he seemed to do that for good reason he could have made his announcement at his daily News Conference where he talks about the coronavirus and all of the actions the administration is taking but by issuing this mysterious tweet late on a monday night he gets the morning news cycles where the newspapers d in the morning shows talking about what hes had to say and then in the afternoon he gets another round where he explains what his policy is and then it gets to gestate and analyzed again and the president wants to show that hes doing something the centers for Disease Control just a month ago in a little known action. Issued an order that allowed the United States to stop people at the border who didnt have the proper papers and because of the pandemic that order allows them to send people back similarily no Court Hearing no chance for asylum theyre sent back automatically and now the president is expanding that to include any immigration from anywhere. Still early hours in the u. S. Right now so were waiting in the next few hours so hopefully some more detail on that in the meantime for the 1st time in history u. S. Oil prices went below 0 when into negative territory the futures figure has since come back around to you all is a barrel while brant crude which is the International Benchmark as opposed to the u. S. One has fallen 14 percent to just under 22 dollars of our so weve got our economics editor will be talking to him shortly about what a list means what happens next also asama binge of aid is here in doha to discuss the likely impact on some gulf nations which of course dependent on oil we will talk to you gentlemen after we hear from andy gallacher. At the beginning of 2020 a barrel of u. S. Crude oil cost around 60. 00 then came the coronavirus pandemic forcing states toward a lot downs emptying streets closing businesses and shuttering factories across the nation demand dried up and the price fell to 18. 00 on monday things took a catastrophic turn for the 1st time in history u. S. Oil went into negative territory a doomsday scenario for the entire industry President Trump called the drop interesting despite the crash hitting the stock market were filling up our National Petroleum reserves through dziedzic you know the Strategic Reserves and were looking to put as much as 75000000. 00 barrels into the reserves themselves that would top it out that would be 1st time in a long time its been tapped out would get it for the right price capacity though both online and see in the United States is filling up since march stockpiles in some locations have risen by 50 percent in some places the price of fuel is now at a 10 year low demand is down theres no certainty when states will reopen and all of this comes as a severe blow to President Donald Trump is going to Great Lengths to protect the oil sector working with both russia. And opec to reduce production now the entire Global Industry is in a not precedented crisis the Historic Deal to slash production by millions of barrels a day involved saudi arabia russia and other Oil Producing nations but experts say another global effort is needed were probably down a 1000000 from our normal 10000000 barrels down to about 9 that probably needs to come down some more but all the other Oil Producing countries need to do the same until the economy recovers the plunging price is a driven by trading deadlines oil is traded on its future price contracts are due to expire on tuesday why is it virtually nonexistent some traders are now paying to get rid of oil instead of buying it the president says the industry will bounce back they got caught and there are a lot of people that are not too happy because they got caught so if you take a look at it youll see its more of a financial thing than an Oil Situation but because you take i believe in a month or so and go a little bit its a 25. 00 and 28. 00 or so its largely a financial squeeze. If there is a Silver Lining those on the front lines of the coronavirus will pay less to fuel because a recovery in demand for oil is now dependent on oil prices that in many parts of the u. S. Is far from over and to gallacher aljazeera Miami Florida right so more with our economics. In the time since weve come on air the u. S. Crude oil futures down to below this brant actually were talking about down below 20. 00 a barrel and this is a bigger concern isnt it because brant is the international standard. Thats right kumar so the impact thats a big bt i use having gone brant is very rural now that the theory is here about the we know whats happening in the us we get technical data from the Us Energy Department to tell us how Small National reserves are how false to teach reserves are but we dont get that kind of information from the rest of the world so what the concern is right now is is that. Is there any shortages in storage spaces internationally and thats being reflected in the in the brant price right now but i can actually tell you that nymex thats the price of the w t r i is also in negative territory again this morning which is not many were looking at. Traders actually paying their buyers one pat 1. 58 to take take. Take a crude awake so thats a thats the latest. Situation which is which is live on our air which is machines right this very moment so weve got this situation the us where there is i lack of storage but its as president trying to say you know what allow some of the oil to be stored away in the sea in our storage in the strategic routes though which can hold up to 750000000 barrels. In capacity and that theres a big going to encourage more Oil Companies to stall oil underground so that could be just one solution to this particular problem. Senator in london thank you robert for that now its on a binge of it here and give us a bit of regional perspective this part of the world. Dependent on the energy markets. Absolutely kemal and that thats what weve seen this morning the stock exchanges down i would be struck a teen years down the value of saudi aramco is down and this is talking about the deputy i an index which largely impacts the u. S. Markets and these these are stumbling impacts that weve seen so far in the middle east and markets and obviously as you said that this is a and essentially especially in the g. C. C. Economies are tied to hydrocarbons that is the oil exports which run these countries and that is why they wanted to get very closely weve heard from reports that saudi arabia would be considering bringing up its cuts from mid to as soon as possible and thats something which came about when the saudis and the russians agreed to cutting or production and it is a really interesting time that we live in that them cutting 10 almost 10000000. 00 barrels upping plus decided that it is going to wipe out and 1000000 barrels off of the Oil Supply Chain and it didnt have an impact why because the world demanded were not driving cars youre not getting into planes Major Industrial centers are closed and thats why there is not not much demand which is having a knock on effect so that 10000000. 00 barely made a dent in oil prices otherwise it would have created a major blip and now were also seeing that there is going to be an impact on these economies on the whole not just the actual physical economy but on the political economy as well because saudi arabia and countries in the g. C. C. It do their business so to speak of based on their oil revenues based on their stature in the oil markets and pressure that they can exert and if that is taken away from them with the loss of oil revenues it is going to be very difficult for them and their governments to maintain their positions thank you osama bin. So just before we look at markets just to clarify brant crude oil that is the International Benchmark now down at about 21. 00 a barrel the other number i mentioned which is about 18. 00 a barrel is the u. S. Benchmark but that is looking ahead to june is up it was explaining may is now clearly looking ahead to june but theyre falling already to 18. 00 a barrel if you can keep up with that it will keep changing all day im sure we want to look at european stock markets which of opened lower as well after all those price changes the stocks 600. 00 which is a paneuropean index fell about one percent of the start of trade the footsie in london was off 1. 7 percent frankfurt dax and attack in paris were both down 2 percent its and that was after the worst day for about a month in asia tokyos nikkei finished almost 2 percent lower Hong Kong Sydney seoul they were all off one percent and shanghai and singapore fell. Well this price crash in the u. S. Is also having a major impact further north canada is actually the largest foreign supplier of crude to the United States david mercer reports now from the heart of the Canadian Oil Industry in alberta. Where the drilling is stalled and redundancies of style sit. Around for more than 16 years glenn karat has been providing fire and Safety Management in the heart of canadas oil industry with 3 shops and dozens of vehicles the Business Owner would normally have 40 to 50 employees working at oil and gas sites around western canada but these days hes down to just 5 or 6 workers while hundreds of thousands of dollars of least equipment sits idle its disheartening to have people sitting at home theyre following me on a regular basis to find out if were going back to work and the bills keep piling up and you know if we dont have all this equipment out work and its cost a lot of money every day every day its kind of this oil industry has been reeling since late 2014 when crude prices haft from around 100. 00 a barrel to less than 50 that drop led to bankruptcies and the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs in oil and gas a vital sector in canadas economy now with more than 3000000000 people locked down in their homes because the coronavirus the demand for oil has evaporated prices for western canadian select albertas benchmark heavy oil have plummeted to less than 5. 00 a barrel over the past few weeks if prices dont rise substantially the impact on oil workers here could be devastating opecs record cut in oil output has failed to prop up the price of crude and most canadian producers are now well below their breakeven point we have called it a perfect storm. And in many cases you know the folks that i work with. You have been through many different cycles in this industry quite frankly ive never seen anything quite like this and i dont think anyone. Will quite possibly ever see anything like this again chad miller was laid off a few weeks ago and with just 30 out of 515 oil rigs in operation across the country he knows hes not alone miller hopes his Facebook Group oilfield dads will help provide support for those worried about how theyll pay the rent or put food on the table its nothing worse than hearing about someones Family Member you know turning to drugs or alcohol or even suicide and thats it touches all of us because its dear to our hearts that could be any one of us last week the canadian government announced a 1700000000. 00 aid package to try to save thousands of Energy Sector jobs but with Oil Storage Facilities already close to capacity and demand at historic lows the worst may be yet to come david mercer aljazeera in Central Alberta canada in the news ahead we report from western kenya where the search continues for people missing off the flash floods and how volunteers are putting themselves on the front line of the virus battle in iraq. How a welcome sign of a look at the International Focus we got the usual splattering of showers across parts of Southeast Asia and somewhat fewer and further between than we have seen recently actually but they are that nevertheless expect to see some heat of the day down poles for many particularly into where malaysia maybe into into these a little dry there into the philippines dry here we have got a few showers and to send from northern parts of it may be pushing up towards laos cambodia is generally try to catch the odd shot just cross the gulf of thailand just around the peninsula shallots as a ship the at this time of the end in the same way the showers in the full cost of australia over the next day ill say weve had some shabby rain moving through the southeast and cola still on the blustery side here as we go on through the next day or so you might just catch the odd sharon to tasmania but i think even here would be too many of those to worry about for most part it is fine and dry wall want to brace but it around 31 celsius find to the path at around 25 degrees on wednesday off ne some attempt to go on into thursday by thursday much to see a little bit damp weather pushing across South Australia towards that western saddle victoria was poor but for most is fine and dry and thats just. For the south island of new zealand. Bigger and potentially more dangerous thats the best way to describe whats happening with the smoking alternative known as vapor i enjoy the taste of it and not get the harmful effects of what smoking does between 20132014 alone we start tripling in use among Us High School students and head to head comparison ysaye versus conventional cigarette which one do you think is healthier my opinion i think theyre both dangerous take no one else is the a myth.

S. Oil futures prices of crash below 0 gone into negative territory has since come back to about 2. 00 a barrel.

Might a very courageous decision last not to put the company into volunteered ministration and do so quickly. Well the corona Virus Outbreak in russia there is only growing nearly 5700. 00 new cases confirmed in the last 24 hours which pushes the total above 52. 00 thousands the government says 456 people have died in russia and after falling for 2 days new cases of risen slightly in germany just under 800. 00 reported on tuesday which brings the total in europes largest economy to about 143000 the german chancellor Angela Merkel is also warning that another full shutdown will be inevitable if infections rise significantly again from berlin is down it came with more. For many weeks germany has been in lockdown the possibility of inadvertent infection too high to allow most every day life to go on but now in some states many shops are open once more as here in cologne on monday the 1st step by the government to test how safe it is for Economic Life to resume that tool is fed us shia of course it is difficult but if we now ease restrictions then we dont know exactly what the repercussions will be and thats why we have to take it slowly and a step at a time it would be tragic if we knowingly relapsed and if we knowingly endangered these 1st successes. And perhaps because of that fear not everywhere in germany has reopened for business some states want more stringent protective measures in place before Opening Stores so far at le
